SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent N o. 733,603, dated July14, 1903.

Application filed December 26,1902. Serial No. 136,690. (No model.)

To coll, whom, it may concern:

Beit known that I, JOHN STEINBORG, a citizen of the United States, and aresident of Menasha, in the county of lVinnebago and State of Illinois,have invented an Article of Apparel, of which the following is aspecilication.

This invention relates to apparel, and relates particularly tohead-coverings.

The object of the invention is to provide an article of apparel adaptedto protect both the head and the neck and which will combine thefeatures of great warmth, simplicity, and eheapnessof manufacture.

Broadly stated, an article of apparel of my invention consists of acombined hood and tippet or neck-wrap, said tippetform in g means forsecuring the hood to the head.

The invention also consists of the various other features, combinationsof features, and details of construction hereinafter described andclaimed.

In the accompanying' drawings an article of apparel embodying myinvention in its preferable form is fully illustrated.

Figure l is a head wearing a hood of my invention. Fig. 2 is a planview, partly in section, of a hood of my invention. Fig. 3 is a sideview thereof, the hood portion being shown partly in section and thelining thereof being shown in unfolded position in dotted lines; andFig. 4. is a sectional view on the line L 4 of Fig. 2.

Referring now to the drawings, l designates the hood proper of thearticle attached to and preferably formed integral with which are tippetends 2, the hood portion being adapted to be adjusted to the head andsecured by winding said tippet ends around the neck and fastening them,as by tying, pinning', or in other desired manner.

A combined hood and tippet of my invention is preferably made of knittedfabric, knit round or stocking-shaped and of any desired length, sayseven feet (7 l) from end to end. My invention, however, contemplatesmaking' it of any other desired material.

The ends of the article are iinished in any suitable manner to preventraveling and to present a neat appearance.

The hood portion l is preferably larger than the tippet ends 2, and whenmade of knitted fabric is preferably knit more loosely, so that it willstretch more.

Formed in the hood proper, l, is a slit or opening 3, adapted to receivethe head of the wearer. Preferably, also, the head portion of thearticle is made double, a piece 4, preferably of the same material asthe rest of the article, being attached to the edges of the slit oropening 3 and being adapted to be folded inwardly'against the inside ofsaid hood portion vl. Said piece 4f not only provides a covering ofdouble thickness over the head, but also reinforces said hood portionand prevents the same from stretching unduly and getting out of shape.

I claiml. An article of apparel consisting of a tubular fabric providedbetween its ends with a slit or opening adapted to receive the head ofthe wearer, substantially as described.

2. An article of apparel consisting of a tubular fabric providedVbetween its ends with a slit or opening adapted to receive the head ofthe wearer and a lining attached to the edges of said slit or opening,substantially as described.

3. An article of apparel consisting of a tubular fabric and comprisingan enlarged portion provided with a slit or opening adapted to receivethe head of the wearer.

4.. An article of apparel consisting of a tubular fabric and comprisingan enlarged portion provided with a slit or opening adapted to receivethe head of the wearer and a lining attached to the edges of said slitor opening, substantially as described.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my invention I affix mysignature, in presence of two subscribing witnesses, this 19th day ofDecember, A. D. i902.

JOHN STEINBORG.
